    They are the most spoiled cats in the world (along with our three moggies) and it is actually a really big squidgy dog bed!! It is big enough for three cats to be comfortable!

    And yes, I think she is smiling, sazzy!

    I've had a quick look at the schedule and it looks like there will be a good mix of breeds there. You should be allowed entry at around 1pm.

    There should also be at least a couple of trade stands there where you can buy supplies at very reasonable prices. (I got some single cartons of different flavoured Bozita tetra packs to the ones I usually get at the show yesterday to see if the cats like them - saves buying them in large quantities on line, only to find the cats aren't that keen! I'm glad I did, because I tried them on the rabbit one this evening and although they have eaten it, they weren't overly enthusiastic!)

    I won't be going to the Southampton show though, not only because it is quite a distance from me but also because I am going to the Coventry & Leicester show the previous weekend, and there are rules in place to protect the welfare of the cats: you have to leave at least 13 days between each show so you can't go to one every single weekend (or at least not with the same cat anyway).

    Sorry, but I have to ask, how long do they spend in those little cages?

    The bed was from Pets at Home, but it was a dog one. There were smaller versions too. It is lovely and soft!

    They are in there all day, but there is room to move about and in the afternoon, the owners can take them out as often as they like. You can pay extra to get a double-sized pen, which is probably what I'll do when they are older and bigger. They spend much of the time fast asleep anyway ;)

    welll done to Lulu & Spot at the show.

    I remember the photos of them when you first got them and I fell in love with Spot (you might remember I asked if you'd swop him with my 11 year old, arthritic, cantankerous bruiser :) but you declined) but I think as they've grown, Lulu seems to be more 'pretty' than Spot now.
    She has the most beautiful coat.
